• The IUPAC name $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{CHCH}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3}$  is,2,5,5-trimethylhexan-3-ol,
• The functional group alcohol,
• Type of compound is a secondary alcohol.

A functional group exists as a group of atoms in a molecule with specific chemical properties, regardless of the other atoms in the molecule. The atoms in a functional group exist linked to each other and to the rest of the molecule by covalent bonds.
